The
debates on GMO and organic farming, the future of farmers and
agriculture, and the politics of food are not new. Navdanya has been
fighting for the rights of the farmer and seed freedom for 25 years.
Today, we find ourselves at a crucial point, not just in terms of a
movement committed to resisting biological and ecological destruction,
but also in the presence of a network of ‘living’ and thriving
economies. The Living Farms series explores these questions, looking at
five specific aspects of farming - Seed, Soil, Food, Fibres and Farmers.
Produced by Navdanya with the support of Fred Foundation, the films are
based on the testimonies of farmers, seed savers, agronomist and
scientists from across India, as well as from indigenous farming
cultures abroad.
